Olympic Ski Jump

This picture of the K90 and K120 Ski Jumps was taken at Utah Olympic Park in Park City, Utah.  These Ski Jumps were used in the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah.  It wasn't until 1964 when the the present two Ski Jumps format were used in the Olympics.  These two jumps are today designated as K90 (90 meters) and K120 (120 meters).  A team competition was added in 1988, which now brings the total medal count of Ski Jumping to nine (9).  This facility is presently being used as an Olympic Training Site.  I would also like to add that starting in 2014 there will be women Ski Jumpers competing for medals!

  1. I think you should have tried one of the jumps to use for an aerial shot of the complex! (Or even an aerial photosphere?) :-)

  2. It's more scary to stand at the top looking down
